EPFL labs can now measure CO₂ emissions and focus reduction efforts
EPFL has released an open‑source CO₂ calculator that provides research laboratories with a detailed, granular view of their carbon emissions, allowing scientists to identify the most impactful reduction measures. The tool automatically imports data such as lab surface area, purchasing history and power use, and has already been adopted by EPFL labs and is being explored by other Swiss universities, including the University of Lausanne and ETH Zurich.
